Do you still have to pay for rides with Genie Plus?

You do not have to pay an additional fee for the attractions included in the Genie+ option. As I like to say, Individual Lightning Lanes are basically Genie+ for the biggest, baddest thrill attractions. These include attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Avatar Flight of Passage.
